| UniProt functional annotation for P14421 | |||
| UniProt code: P14421. |
| Organism: | Gloydius halys (Chinese water mocassin) (Agkistrodon halys). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Lepidosauria; Squamata; Bifurcata; Unidentata; Episquamata; Toxicofera; Serpentes; Colubroidea; Viperidae; Crotalinae; Gloydius. | |
| Function: | Snake venom phospholipase A2 (PLA2) that inhibits neuromuscular transmission by blocking acetylcholine release from the nerve termini. PLA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15032748}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + H2O = a 1-acyl-sn- glycero-3-phosphocholine + a fatty acid + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:15801, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:28868, ChEBI:CHEBI:57643, ChEBI:CHEBI:58168; EC=3.1.1.4; Evidence={ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10035, ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU10036}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29108; Evidence={ECO:0000305|PubMed:10666574}; Note=Binds 1 Ca(2+) ion. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:10666574}; | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed by the venom gland. | |
| Mass spectrometry: | Mass=13938; Method=Electrospray; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15032748}; | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the phospholipase A2 family. Group II subfamily. D49 sub-subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
